Schulz: Fallin Veto Throws ‘Budget Further Into Chaos’

OKLAHOMA CITY – Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Schulz, R-Altus, released the following comment on the governor’s veto of the revised FY’18 budget:

“We are surprised by the governor’s veto. The governor’s office was involved in the negotiation of the revised budget agreement, but did not indicate the agreement was insufficient and would be vetoed. The revised budget agreement was not the Senate’s first choice to resolve the budget crisis but it was the only option after the House showed it was not able to meet the constitutional standards of raising revenue. Bringing the Legislature back into special session at this point seems like a waste of time and taxpayer dollars. The governor’s veto doesn’t help Oklahoma thrive, it only serves to throw our budget further into chaos.”

of course because you wish to screw the people of this state . while Trump cuts taxes on the wealthy and corporations , you wish to even cut them further. and heap higher taxes on the citizens of this state . we cant take any more ! look at the scale , 1/4 pay the taxes , 1/4 take the taxes ( welfare , medicaid, and unlawful illegals ) then you have 1/4 Rich which write theirs all off and dont pay at all , because the tax code is set up for them . then you have 1/4 retired and cant get a head because of increased hikes or economical inflation . you allow companies and corporations to go unscathed. so how do you fix this ? 7% on all wells ! 4% on wind and air , 1% on all other entities that do business in this state . and leave the over taxed, citizen alone ! re-a-line departments , get rid of waist , slush funds , abuse , misappropriations and start holding legislators more accountable . and cut education ! 33.7% this is headed for bust . we cant no longer keep raising this ! without restructure this state will soon find its self between a rock and a hard place. Mike this state cannot continue as it is .

and further more , I would not take anything you said serious , you cant even solve the garbage problem in Altus . 2 contractors within 1 year , walk off with the money . now contemplating another , when will this good old boy program end and you participate in solving the real problem , I also heard threw they grape vine , that Altus took it upon its self to sale all heavy equipment for doing this task ? very underhanded . as for you doing anything for this district , you have done absolutely NOTHING! to bring jobs here or industry or corporations . as far as I see your , your a big waist of Altus Tax payer dollars . Find a new Job Sir , because you wont be getting my vote .
